Alysha’s lips parted, but no words came. Her mind was blank, spinning as Ivan’s intense gaze bore into her. She couldn’t lift her head to meet his eyes, couldn’t find the strength to confront the emotions swirling inside her. Her whole body tensed when she felt his large hand cover hers, warm and steady, grounding her against the storm in her mind.

“Please,” Ivan said, his voice low, almost pleading. “Come home with me.”

The word home made her chest tighten. She hitched a breath, her heart thundering in her ears. Home? What did that even mean for her? She had no home—no memory of one, no connection to a place she could claim as her own. She was an empty shell, floating in a life constructed by others. No identity, no family… nothing.

“Home?” she whispered, her voice trembling, her gaze still fixed on the floor. “What home?”

Ivan’s hand tightened over hers, his thumb brushing gently against her knuckles. “Our home,” he said softly, his words heavy with longing. He stepped closer, reach

His piercing blue eyes flicked toward the door as Henry stumbled in, his face bruised and swollen, a testament to the chaotic pursuit of answers.Ivan leaned forward in his chair, his voice low and steady but laced with impatience. “Henry. What did you find?”Henry hesitated, clutching a stack of disheveled papers in his hand. “Sir… there are no documents. No records of the baby girl’s birth, no official ties to Alysha Jarl or anyone else.” He took a deep breath, wincing from the pain in his jaw. “The only thing I could secure was the identity Neil Holland crafted for her. She’s listed as Cyndra Holland, named after ‘Arisha Holland,’ the identity they forced onto Alysha.”Ivan’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening as he processed the information. He stood, his towering frame radiating power and barely restrained anger as he paced the room. “So, she’s a ghost on paper? Neil era

    Bjorn stormed through the hospital hallways, his eyes darting from room to room as he pushed past doctors, nurses, and patients. Panic clawed at his insides, and the usual smirk he wore was gone, replaced with a look of growing frustration and fear. “Alora!” he called out, his voice echoing off the sterile walls, but there was no response.

He paused, narrowing his eyes. The area was quiet, and few people should have been there.Stepping closer, his military instincts on high alert, he noticed a tiny figure huddled behind some crates. His brows furrowed as he moved silently, taking care not to startle whoever it was. As he approached, he saw a familiar golden curl catching the dim light.Alora.His heart tightened.

He softened his voice, keeping it low and gentle. “Alora?” he called softly, his tone fille
